AM Series 5k Race: WU with jog over to race course, register and then ran course and added 4 or 5 strides in closer to race start. Did a lot better gettingto the start line and not feeling the stomach issues. Watched what I ate the last couple days and this morning and got a good amount miles in prior to race, with some strides.
REally felt at ease at start and watched the high school kids fly out (too fast) at the start. Literally went from 5th to 1st in 0.25 after the 1 mile mark. I wish the weather would have been this good last week when I time trialed at the track - about 65 degrees and overcast with lower humidity. Didn't get hard until the hills started on mile 2 - splits: 5:42, 5:53, 5:35, 5:05 pace for the partial.
Did some cooldown, stuck around for awards, and on to 20 mile Long Run - 2:45:57
30.35 total - A little over 4 hours
